ON MUSLIM THEOLOGY, PHILOSOPHY AND MYSTICISM

    THEODOR HAARBRÜCKER: _Asch-Schahrastâni’s Religionsparteien
    und Philosophenschulen übersetzt und erklärt._ 2 vols. Halle,
    1850-51. The Arabic text, without which Haarbrücker’s German
    is sometimes hardly intelligible, was published by Cureton,
    London, 1846.

    T. J. DE BOER: _Geschichte der Philosophie im Islam._
    Stuttgart, 1901. Unsatisfactory but the best that there is.
    It is only a sketch and takes hardly sufficient account of
    theology and mysticism.

    STANLEY LANE-POOLE: _Studies in a Mosque._ II edition. London,
    1893. Miscellaneous essays, lightly written but trustworthy.

    KREHL: _Beiträge zur Characteristik der Lehre vom Glauben in
    Islam._ Leipzig, 1877.

    G. VON VLOTEN: _Les Hachwia et Nabita._ Eleventh Congress of
    Orientalists, part iii, pp. 99 ff. On early religious sects.

    G. VON VLOTEN: _Irdja._ ZDMG, xiv, pp. 181 ff. On the
    Murji’ites.

    EDUARD SACHAU: _Über de religiosen Anschauungen der
    ibaditischen Muhammedaner in Oman und Östafrica._ Mitth. a. d.
    Sem. f. Orient. Sprachen. Berlin, 1899.

    H. STEINER: _Die Mu‘taziliten oder die Freidenker im Islam._
    Leipzig, 1865.

    WILHELM SPITTA: _Zur Geschichte Abu l-Hasan al-Ash‘ari’s._
    Leipzig, 1876. The best as yet on al-Ash‘ari, but to be used
    with caution, especially in the translations of theological
    texts.

    MARTIN SCHREINER: _Zur Geschichte des Ash‘aritenthums._ In
    Actes du huitième Congress International des Orientalistes, I,
    i, pp. 77 ff. Leiden, 1891.

    M. A. F. MEHREN: _Exposé de la réforme de l’Islamisme commencée
    au troisième siècle de l’Hégire par Abou-l-Hasan Ali el-Ash‘ari
    et continuée par son école._ Third International Congress of
    Orientalists, vol. ii.

    G. FLÜGEL: _Al-Kindi genannt “der Philosoph der Araber.” Ein
    Vorbild seiner Zeit und seines Volkes._ Leipzig, 1857.

    SIR WILLIAM MUIR: _The Apology of al-Kindy, written at the
    court of al-Mámûn._ London, 1882.

    E. SELL: _The Faith of Islam._ London, 1896. II edition.
    A valuable book, but from the point of view of an Indian
    missionary. Hence the tone is polemic and the technicalities
    are Persian rather than Arabic.

    WALTER M. PATTEN: _Ahmad ibn Hanbal and the Mihna._ Leyden,
    1897. There is a valuable review by Goldziher in ZDMG, lii, pp.
    155 ff. It traces connection of Hanbalites with Ibn Taymiya and
    Wahhabites.

    HEINRICH RITTER: _Ueber unsere Kenntniss der Arabischen
    Philosophie._ Göttingen, 1844.

    FRIEDRICH DIETERICI: _Alfarabi’s philosophische Abhandlungen
    herausgegeben._ Leiden, 1890. _Aus dem arabischen übersetzt._
    Leiden, 1892.

    AL-FARABI: _Der Musterstaat. Herausgegeben und Übersetzt von
    Frdr. Dieterici._ Leiden, 1900.
